Brief summary
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by limited exercise performance, which is mainly determined by disease-specific factors, such as diminished cardiac output, abnormal ventilatory response, and low perfusion in skeletal muscles, which lead to skeletal muscle dysfunction.1 Exercise intolerance and symptoms may lead to activity restriction and further functional deterioration with the progression of CHF. There is some evidence that disease-specific self-report measures more quantify clinically relevant domains than measures of general health status and are generally more sensitive to clinical change. aim of the study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the PMADL-8 questionnaire in the Turkish population.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Measure For Activities Of Daily Living-8 | 6 month | The questionnaire consists of 8 questions. It is a daily living activities measurement questionnaire consisting of 4 categories (very easy = 1 point, easy = 2, difficult = 3 points, very difficult = 4 points). High scores indicate severe functional limitations. |
| Chronic Heart Failure Questionnaire | 6 month | The questionnaire consists of 20 questions and four sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions of the scale are dyspnea (5 questions), fatigue (4 questions), mood (7 questions) and dominance (4 questions). The questions have Likert-type response options ranging from 1 (worst) to 7 (best). The higher the score, the higher the quality of life. |
| Nothingham Health Profile | 6 month | It is a general health questionnaire consisting of 6 sub-parameters consisting of energy level (ES), emotional reactions (ER), physical activity (FA), pain (A), sleep (U) and social isolation (SI) and a total of 38 items. |
| Sociodemographic data form | 6 month | Gender, age, height, weight, body mass index, complaints, concomitant diseases, smoking and alcohol history, New York Heart Association's (NYHA) Congestive Heart Failure Classification, Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors (Kwong et al. Circulation 2003) will be questioned. . Shortness of breath (at rest and on exertion) will be assessed with the modified Borg Scale |
